I finally got this site back up on its feet. Updated wordpress to the newest version, 2.8, and installed a bunch of widgets/plugins.

Not too many important new features, but I’ve added a ‘Share This’ panel on every post.  New blog entries should now be automagically sent to twitter. And I decided to add a little last.fm widget, just for the lols of it. If you’re a frequent iPhone user the site will now be more accessible as the mobile version now has its own skin. Easy living.

In other news, it’s way too hot today. Just typing is exhausting. Need ice cream. Need it now.

As if my previous post wasn’t enough to let people know that I love the Discovery Channel ad, I decided to turn the song into a ringtone for my iPhone. Was about bloody time I changed it anyway. Poor old GLaDOS died a long time ago, and that bloody cake was a lie, or was it?

Sadly the iPhone ringtones are limited to 30 seconds, so I decided to go for the second verse, including both Mike Rowe and Stephen Hawking godliness.  You can fetch the ringtone here, additionally you can also pick up GLaDOS’ – Still Alive here.

How To Make Them Work on Your iPhone:  Simply ‘tick off’ the Ringtones selection from the General tab under Settings in iTunes. Then just drag’n drop into iTunes.  Else, see this guide.  Enjoy! (:

Sadly, there’s been yet another blogging drought from yours truly. It has its reasons however, but hopefully things will pick up again now. (read:workwork)

In an earlier post I asked for some help and advice on buying a new phone. And boy, did you guys deliver. I got some really helpful and insightful comments in the post itself, and even a couple of e-mails. This is me thanking you. Thanks.

As I’m sure some of you now know the phone of choice ended up to be the iPhone. Yes, the iPhone. I have to admit that I’ve been a member of the many, many apple ‘haters’ around the internets (iSheep) for a while, but as Bjørn said in a comment, the iPhone is years ahead of anything I’ve ever tried.

The pros are simply too many to write about, but the app store is a stroke of genius. I can’t imagine having a phone without that option. Thankfully, it seems the competition are catching up to apple with their own stores.

There are a couple of drawbacks with the phone however, battery capacity being a major one.

After one month use I am as satisfied as I can be. Simply the best phone I’ve ever used. Perhaps some day I’ll write something more in-depth about my experiences with it. Don’t hold your breath, though. Thanks again.

Hey, you! Yes. You. I want your help.  I’m in dire need of a new phone.  My trusted Sony Ericsson K850i has kicked the bucket! It is no more! It never really was that trusted either, kept locking up on me, refused to accept incoming messages and acted like a bitch at (most) times! Its behaviour has made me turn from the love child of swedish and japanese scientists to … this is where you come in.

I haven’t got the slightest idea of what to get. I’ve been contemplating the iPhone, a couple of Nokias ( N82 / N95 ), HTC Diamond and many others. These are all smartphones. Do I really need a smartphone? I used my K850i mainly for texting and calling. The camera was handy at times, but it never really was that important.  It had a pretty mediocre solution for playing music, so I never used it.  I would love a phone that could subscribe to podcasts and quench my thirst for Radioresepsjonen, though. One device. Multiple uses. Phone. Camera. MP3-player.  Portable Gaming. GPS. I would love a phone giving me all this. But what to get? Please leave  a comment with your suggestions or e-mail me at ‘thomas at this domain’. Cheers.  (:
